What are Chakras?
Chakras refer to the many energy centers in our bodies that correspond to specific bundles of nerves and internal organs. The seven major chakras run from the base of our spine to the top of our head. If any energy center is blocked or unbalanced, we might experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra.

What are a few ways to unblock/rebalance chakras?
-Meditate - This could mean cleaning, sitting down with your eyes closed and focusing on slow deep breaths, or even working on your passion- something you get lost in completing...
-Grounding - Walk around with your feet to the earth (bare foot), sit in the sun and absorb its positive energy, go to the mountains, or the ocean, or even the forest...
-Sound Bowl Healing/Sound Bath - This is when a trained person plays the Tibetan bowls or the gong. The sound vibrations coming from each bowl can help to ease mental and emotional pain.

What are Crystals?
Crystals are gemstones made up of different elements from the earth. They emit positive energy and calming vibrations. There are thousands of different crystals and they all serve their different purpose.
